We were with 72 to bicycle. Approximately ten people rolled naked since the departure, others gradually withdrew the little of clothing they wore, the remainder being disguised, sometimes very subtly naked under "fake" clothing, others painted, in bathing suit,…

The Police Force was completely reconciling and did not "repress" anything ; just in the Park of the Cinquantenaire with children present, it was necessary to have on at least a string or so -:) I think that everyone had fun, there was a good atmosphere, I did not see negative reactions on the pavements, but many people showed an interest in looking at rather than in the basic claims of the group.

In the face of technological agression and change without rules: the world is defenceless and we ride bikes naked to save the world!'

The place de la Monnaie or the Muntplein is situated in the center of Brussels between the north station and the central station, next to the National Opera, behind the place de la Brouckère or Brouckere Plein and in front of the Theatre de la Monnaie or the Muntschouwburg.

What to you bring with you? Your bicycle and anything you need to spend the afternoon in city. Something to drink and a backpack, panniers or a basket to put your clothes and things. The ride will last about 2 hours. The goal is to ride as nude as possible, although the police might not tolerate complete nakedness. Anticipate that you may need a bathing suit!

Bodypainters are welcome! Nothing official is planned so if you can bring some paints for yourself or to share that would be appreciated. It would be useful to anticpate a body painting session will take some time before the WNBR. The body painting will strongly improve our visibility and credibility.

Why do we ride naked? Because the bareness attracts attention! That gives more visibility to our action. Take note: we do not intend provoke the spectator, this is not exhibitionism!

Since 6 year, la Coordinadora de Colectivos Ciclonudistas d’Aragon (Spain) call for naked bike rides in june in the whole world.

Justice on the streets, this is what we claim with a strong conviction and in earnest, but cheerfully as well, having a good time. Cars impose their law and order on us: speed, high-handedness, fumes and violence.

We denounce that our streets have been kidnapped by privately used cars which collapse cities and degenerate these into a hostile and dangerous land. Cars kill and we are shocked at their impunity. If we question them, so many transnational war interests in petrol and car industry are at stake. We propose a model of a city where people get back their space, where moving needs are reduced and where there is a commitment to pedestrians (all of us are) and to less polluting and more effective means of transport.

When we move day by day on our bikes we transform our mobility into an everyday disobedience act. The bicycle is a reliable, healthy, ecological and amusing means of transport. It is an icon, a symbol of freedom and a practical instrument to transform society. It does not pay taxes, does not waste oil, does neither cooperate with a destroying development nor with global war.

Because we feel we are naked before the traffic owing to the drivers' lack of respect and the apathy of our rulers. Thus we make it visible that our bodywork is fragile. Moreover, we show our body naturally, not feeling ashamed, toppling taboos regarding our physical appearance which are imposed by fashion and the greediness of the textile transnational industry. To sum up, we face urban traffic with our naked body on our bikes as the best way of defending our dignity and of living the social struggle.

Public transport interdependent: free for all, ecological and effective.

an FREE income (or “security income”), unconditional and time life, to find its freedom and to break the spiral work-production-consumption-pollution (see here)

The nuclear power is not an alternative, for a final exit (irreversible) of the civil and military nuclear power

For sport amateur, not-professional, and the suppression of the driving sports (Petition against the construction of a new circuit of motor bike surper-speed in Belgium: www.uncircuitnonmerci.be) (to complete Formula 1 in France, you can also spin a blow of inch: www.casseursdepub.org)

imagine and bring your own proposals/claims! (post them directly on the wiki or send them to cyclonudista.be@no-log.org. The day of the cyclonudista: painted on the body, hoisted on a flag, attached to your bicycle, embroidered in your hair,…)

As at the time of the preceding editions, there was no official request for cyclonudister this Saturday June 30. Because while taking part in this activity, the cyclonudists make a simple use of their freedom of expression and circulation on the public highway.

Nevertheless abstract contacts were made with the communal authorities of the town of Brussels.

On June 27, the authorities of the town of Brussels contacted us by e-mail to inform that the gathering will not be able to take place under the only pretext that the mode of expression of the event, nudity, "would not take account of the codes of conduct of society in particular with respect to the children." and points out that no formal request for authorization was sent to them, "as must be the case for any demonstration". They add that "It is not a question to blame the pacifist character which you allot to this event nor even your will to alert the opinion on the dangers of circulation which in addition mobilize largely the Town of Brussels".

To date, abstract contacts are still taken with the authorities so that they would reconsider their position.

As for the previous years, the cyclonudista will take place and will do without official authorization. We hope that the police will let to us circulate on the road in case we are not completely naked, as it did at the time of the preceding editions. The town of Brussels will be able to thus prove to us that it is largely mobilized by the dangers of the motor vehicle traffic, as it claims it is.

We thus advise to avoid trying to go complete nudity, keep a sheet or something to hide the most intimate parts of your anatomy, those which society considers indecent. They wants to censure our bodies, but we have thousand and one manner of showing our brittleness, the range of our claims, we are creative, divert the prejudices, play of the limits,…

The police force could carry out controls of indentities, take care to have your indentity card within reach to avoid additional nuisances. In the past, the police force has not made use of physical violence, nor carried out arrests within the framework of Cyclonudista.

Let us remain grouped, interdependent and courteous, let us not seek to unnecessarily provoce the police force and all should occur agreeably.
